Devised 22nd May and 19th May 2017. Revised 24th May, 2017. 

This is a present to the York group for "Downey Day of Dance". 
On the day, bars 16-24 were a chain progression and Malcolm Brown suggested the targe movement.
There was still a slight problem which I tweaked on 24th may. 

Recommended music is "Hon Mrs Fraser" by Robert Mackintosh, played ABAB. 
This is the lead tune for "The Auld Alliance" and a suitable recording is by Gordon Shand in Music for Book 23.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
